The other day I
was arrested by traffic police officers who set up shop at hospital road
intersection for “obstruction”.

They jumped into
my car and instructed me to drive to Nairobi area station despite pleading with
them to “eat” a punch since it was morning.

Kufika they told
me not to enter but kuna njia inaingia hapo car wash where I parked wakasema
they need 10k or they book me for “chochote watafikiria”.

I didn’t have any
cash so I called a few friends and managed to raise 3k. They told me to go and
withdraw at the canteen since they don’t do M-Pesa.

On coming back I
called the officer who had snatched my car keys. He had on the big reflective
jackets so when he entered the car I noticed something slip from the side
pocket into the space between the seats but didn’t want to look not to alert
him.
